Swimming

I have been wondering but do less people in Asia swim than in Europe (or America i guess)?
It's a pretty stupid question, but I have seen a lot of people "dying" after falling in deep water in mangas (just like this one)
It could be a simple way for authors to kill people off (a variation to car accidents i guess) but it could also be something natural in those countries, that not many people know how to swim, different cultures you know..
I live really close to the sea in a warm environment, so I don't think I know anybody who cannot swim and was wondering if that was different over there

    Well sometimes your legs can get a cramp if you don't stretch. The water could be really cold and shock your system or you're too panicked and swallow a lot of water and panick even more and drown. You could get thrown in and don't know which way is up anymore and swim downwards. Lots of possibilities but I guess it's mostly for plot ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

    brahh i don't know bout you but I'm from asia n most of my family including myself can't swim either so yer prolly rite- who knows? But do take into consideration that the MC was incredibly drunk and the water was possible cold especially at night ;) Maybe she could swim but those factors limited her from doing so

    that's really interesting !
    I never thought about that before and i just thought it was natural for everybody to know how to swim, but i guess if you don't live near the sea there might not really be a point or it's just not something people care about
    sorry if i'm bothering you and feel free to ignore me, but do you not learn how to swim in PE or you do, but it doesn't actually teach you how to swim?

    and yeah, i'm not particularly talking about that story, there could be a lot of factors leading to her drowning (the main probably being plot reasons haha)

    we have PE but we don't swim :') yeah and she was drunk which limited her control, the water was cold which stiffened her muscles etc. etc.
